The Focal Point of Educational Transformation in Lagos State

RECRUITMENT SCAM ALERT

LASUBEB ORIENTATES SCHOOL MANAGERS ON SCHOOL-BASED MODEL

by LASUBEB Publicity unit | January 5th 2021

The Lagos State Universal Basic Education Board, LASUBEB, in collaboration with Universal Basic Education Commission, UBEC has organized a 5-day training for Headteachers and School Support Officers of some selected Public Primary Schools on the school-based model to ensure improved pedagogy and effective school management in those beneficiary schools.

The training which commenced on January 5, 2021, holds at six centres across the state.

The training aims to improve on the former "cascade model" which used the train-the-trainer approach where only the headteachers of schools were trained and, then, expected to pass the training to other teachers.

Speaking at a related workshop recently organized by UBEC to empower teachers in the Lagos state primary education sector, the Executive Chairman of LASUBEB, Hon. Wahab Alawiye-King disclosed that the school-based model will upscale teaching and learning in public primary schools within the state.

He described the cascade model as an old era of quality control which has now been replaced with a model focused on Basic Education Quality Assurance using a pyramid style of bottom-to-top where not only headteachers but teachers and school managers are trained. This, he said, is in line with the third pillar of Mr. Governor’s THEMES Agenda.

He explained that the training will not only ensure that headteachers and support officers are in tandem with their assigned responsibilities but also encourage them to work collectively by supporting, monitoring, and evaluating teachers in the classroom.

It has come to the Board's notice that some fraudulent individuals have been posting advertisements on some websites offering teaching positions for primary school teachers in Lagos State and requesting registration by filling recruitment forms online. **LASUBEB** categorically disassociates itself from these adverts and website offerings regarding this subject. The job adverts and website offerings regarding this subject. The job advertisements are entirely false and are intended to defraud unsuspecting members of the public. We clarify that we have not engaged any individual or job website to advertise job positions on behalf of the Board. All job advertisements that suggest the contrary should be disregarded.

Thank you. Dr. Hakeem Shittu Executive Chairman, LASUBEB

In a bid to ensure smooth and credible information gathering in Public and Private Schools, the management of the Universal Basic Education Commission (UBEC), led by Dr. Hamid Bobboyi met with Lagos SUBEB, Hon. Commissioner of Education and private education stakeholders of basic education institutions in Lagos State to sensitize them on the ongoing National Personnel Audit. Recall that the National Personnel Audit is an exercise in accordance with the UBE Act 2004, which empowers the commission (UBEC) to carry out regular personnel audit of teaching and non-teaching staff of all basic education institutions in Nigeria. The exercise is to establish a basic education data bank and also conduct research on basic education in the country. ![lasubeb_ubec2022_8.jpeg](http://157.230.58.69/uploads/lasubeb_ubec2022_8_df28a5f221.jpeg) The meeting held in LASUBEB’s Board room, had in attendance Executive Secretary UBEC, Chairman Governing Board UBEC, management staff of the Commission, SUBEB Chairman, Education Secretaries, Headteachers, representatives of the National Association of Proprietors of Private Schools, Association for Formidable Educational Development and Representatives of Muslim Schools. Hon. Wahab Alawiye-King explained that the numeration which commenced on 6th June, 2022, is to comprehensively gather credible data of Nursery, Primary and Junior schools in the State. ![lasubeb_ubec2022_7.jpeg](http://157.230.58.69/uploads/lasubeb_ubec2022_7_40086e70ea.jpeg) He furthered that the auditing process is not an attempt to sanction schools but to track the achievements of relevant sustainable development goals in the basic education sector. Dr. Hamid Bobboyi, Executive Secretary UBEC, who led the census team illuminated that the auditing is implemented by a multi-sectorial committee of the commission to determine the key performance indicators in the basic education sub-sector and also obtain reliable data for assessing the impact of basic education delivery. He added that the census will assist in identifying the gaps in the operating system, and also strategize on the approach to be used in solving the challenges facing the institution, affirming that it is not for tax or billing purposes. He mentioned that Lagos State has been undercounted due to lack of cooperation of private basic education providers, urging them to cooperate and support the enumerators in achieving an effective data gathering for national and global reportage. During the visit of the UBEC team to the State Ministry of Education, Honorable Commissioner, Mrs. Folasade Adefisayo stated that the counting will help determine the numbers of schools in the state pledging the Ministry’s support in achieving a successful information gathering exercise. Vice President NAPPS, Mrs. Otegbeye and Cordinator of AFED pledged the associations support and promised to sensitize other bodies on the exercise.
